Az rider here! I get out every weekend and commute 3-4 times a week. 18k miles on my '8'. Live on the east side, but do Prescott, Payson - Pine - Clints Well rides all the time. Give me a heads up and I'm in.Any AZ riders out there that want to group up for a ride soon??
Get a FZ1. Turn it naked if you don't like the look. Way better bike and they are cheap.
